Star Trek: Picard--It's A Hit!


The first episode of Star Trek: Picard has already won widespread praise from critics and fans.  Patrick Stewart's performance is almost universally lauded. Some suggest the series is the most successful Trek since the 2009 Star Trek feature film.  Others go further back, to the 1996 feature, Star Trek: First Contact.

In honor of the new series, I plan to complete my retro-reviews of the first 10 Star Trek features (the "Trekalog"), and the next film on the list happens to be First Contact. 

That film, and the two that follow, constitute the last times we saw Jean-Luc Picard.  The first episode of the new series contains several echoes of First Contact and subsequent movies as well as Star Trek: The Next Generation series episodes. So these reviews may shed light on the new series as well.

So watch this space.
